Huo Qiran originally wanted to discuss with Jingli to arrange an apartment hotel for them to stay for the time being. He had even selected several locations and the environment was pretty good. When he asked Jingli, he suddenly realized something and did not take out his own options, but asked Jingli to choose by himself.

As expected, Jingli chose a very ordinary apartment with a small, somewhat outdated environment.

Huo Qiran knew what she was doing, so he didn't ask anything, but just gently held her hand to express his support.

Not long after that, Huo Qiran disappeared automatically and was no longer with Jing Li.

Jing Li helped Jing Yanting pack the good things alone, returned the room in the small hotel, took a taxi, and went to her newly booked residence.

Jing Yanting was very silent along the way, and Jing Li didn't plan to talk to him in front of outsiders, so he didn't say anything or ask anything.

As he arrived at the place where he lived, Jing Yanting's body was tense. It was not until after entering the door that he saw the indoor environment that he seemed to relax a little, but he was only a little bit.

This is a small two-bedroom apartment. It's really a bit old. The wallpaper looks a little yellow, some of the joints are edged, and the furniture is a bit old, but the bedding is pretty clean.

Jing Li looked at the two rooms and carried Jing Yanting's luggage to the room that was large in the window, Xiangyang.

"Dad, you live in this room, and I live next to it." Jingli said, "You can take a shower first and take a rest. Do you want to go out for lunch or order takeout?"

Jing Yanting glanced at her without answering.

Jingli quickly gave himself the answer, "It's better to order takeout. There is a restaurant nearby, which is quite good. There are so many people queuing up, so it's still convenient to order takeout."

As she said, she walked into the bathroom to prepare everything for Jing Yanting.

Jing Yanting was still stiff and silent, and didn't even look at Jing Li very much.

Even at this moment, he could no longer admit that he was still nervously paying attention to this daughter, but his subconscious reaction was always far away from her and a little further away.

Jingli probably guessed what he was thinking, so he didn't say much or show great closeness to him.

The father and daughter who met again after a long time always retain a strange sense of strangeness and distance.

After Jing Yanting finished taking a shower, she changed into clean clothes, but her face and hands were still as black as before. Her messy beard still covered half of her face, and the long nails were still covered with black old dirt.

"Dad, I went downstairs to buy some daily necessities, and I had a shaver. Do you want to shave your beard?" Jing Li asked him with a smile while tidying up what he was doing, "Is it convenient to eat with such a long beard?"

Jing Yanting raised his hand and touched his beard. The next moment, he shook his head and refused the proposal of shaving.

Jing Li didn't force it and said, "Your nails are a bit long, I have a nail clipper here, cut it, right?"

Jing Yanting lowered his head, stared at his fingernails for a while, and then finally nodded slowly.

Jingli seemed to be happy immediately and said, "Dad, let me cut it for you. I remember that when I was a child, you cut my nails for me. Now it's my turn to cut it for you!"

Jing Yanting looked at her with her eyebrows and eyes curled up, but she did not refuse.

Soon Jingli sat next to him, holding his fingers in one hand and holding a nail clipper in the other, and carefully cutting his nails bit by bit.

Jing Yanting sat quietly, and as soon as she lowered her eyes, her eyes fell on her head.

She lowered her head and cut it carefully, as if she was more cautious than when he cut her nails when he was a child, for fear that he would hurt him if he accidentally did.

This is the daughter he put in his palm and loved with all his life. In the end, he had to take care of him with all his heart and strength...

Jing Yanting's throat couldn't help but feel sore. After watching Jing Li's movements for a long time, he finally said softly: "Don't you ask where I've been in the past years, right?"

Jing Li paused the movements in his hand, then raised his head and looked at him gently and calmly, "Dad said it when he wanted to tell me. Now, as long as he can live with his father again, it is enough for me."

After hearing this, Jing Yanting fell silent for a moment.

Neither of them mentioned the rest of the Jing family, whether it was about the past or the present, because no matter how they mentioned it, it was a pain.

But it's a bit painful, and I have to face it in the end.

After a long time of silence, Jing Yanting finally spoke slowly: "After the company had an accident that year, I boarded a cruise ship..."

Jing Li's nail clipping movement continued slowly. When he heard him speak about the past, he just responded softly.

"I originally thought I could find someone who could save the company and our family on a cruise ship, but... I didn't find it." Jing Yanting said.

The phrase "not found" probably cannot tell the hardships of that time, but it is no longer important.

Jing Yanting paused again before saying, "I drank a lot of wine that day. In the middle of the night, when the boat reached the high seas, I fell down-"

Jing Li suddenly raised his head and looked at the relatives who were closest in front of him.

And he calmly seemed to be telling someone else's story: "Later, I was rescued, but I had already been wandering to T country. Perhaps I had been soaking in the water for too long. During the years I was there, I was confused. I didn't know who I was, where I came from, and I didn't know if I had any relatives..."

"I'm like a fool, or more like a lunatic. I lived there for a few years before I suddenly woke up one day."

Jing Li held his hand and tightened slightly, staring at him, his heart beating wildly.

"I thought of a lot of ways, and finally returned to China and Tongcheng. I realized that... your mother and brother have left, and you have left Tongcheng..."

"Dad!" Jing Li couldn't control the earthquake.

So he had already returned at that time, and when she left Tongcheng and went to newyork, he had already returned!

"The pain that has been caused cannot be saved, but I feel very happy when you left this place." Jing Yanting said, "You have been willing to go to Brotherhood since childhood. If you leave here and go to the place you dream of, you will definitely live a good life..."

Jing Li shook his head involuntarily and looked at him with red eyes, "Dad, since you know that I have gone abroad, you should have a way to contact me. Even if you can't contact me, you can still find your uncle and others... Why don't you look for me? Why don't you tell me that you are back?"

"So what can I do if I find you and tell you?" Jing Yanting looked at her, "What can I give you? I ruined our home with my own hands, I killed your mother and brother, I made you suffer so much, and I have to bear so much at such a young age... Are people like me still qualified to be a father?"

"You have!" Jing Li said, and finally couldn't help crying. "Since you gave birth to me, you taught me to talk, teach me to walk, teach me to read, draw, practice piano and write, let me sit on your shoulder and ride a horse, let me grow up carefree... You are my father, no matter what happens, you will always be my father..."

She cried so hard that she couldn't help but burst into tears, stretching out her hand that was dissatisfied with calluses and gently stroked the tears on her face.

"Even if I, my father... can't give you anything?" Jing Yanting asked.

Jingli shook her head vigorously, "From childhood to adulthood, you have given me enough. I don't need you to give me anything. I just want you to come back and keep you by my side..."

"Xiaoli..." Jing Yanting shouted to her softly, "Dad, I'm sorry for you..."
